DCJonah Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Should be an impact sub for desperate last 15 minutes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted December 13, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted December 13, 2015 He should be plan B. Shouldn't be starting games. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penguin Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 There's no point playing him unless the team's style is solely built around feeding him and working to his strengths, trying to shoehorn him in in a system that he clearly can't play isn't working for him or the team. Agree about him being a Plan B, Ayew has to start up top. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andym Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 had the ball placed right onto his head 6 yards out (you know, playing to his strength) and he didnt even get it on target he also managed to slip over when a Cech heavy touch presented it to him unmarked 8 yards out 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penguin Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 He's exceedingly strong in the air, missing a header today doesn't change that. The point I'm making is that with two wide players like Sinclair and Ayew who both like to cut inside and run with the ball the impact of Gestede is straight away minimised as he'll thrive through wingers driving to the by-line and whipping in crosses and the only player who really does that for us regularly is Hutton. I'm not saying he's a good player, hence why I said I'd like him as a Plan B, so I don't see the relevance of you bringing up his other miss in relation to what i've said, if anything it strengthens the point I'm making that he's limited and to get any kind of effectiveness from him the team needs to be built around so. Which again I'm not advocating. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 I'd like to find out who scouted this bloke and thought he could add anything. With the other players I can see some progress and developing into something half decent as they settle, but Rudy is as limited a footballer as I've seen and come from English football. And for £6m.

He's added our only league win of the season, so he's done something. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, coming on as sub to head the winner I'm happy enough with and can see some merit in him being used as plan B, but his overall ability is shocking.

poitier Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 He fluffed his big chance today, but we put in a lot more crosses once he went off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
